Hello darkness my old friend

Six AM seems mighty early when you haven't had to see it for awhile. Between shift switching and the Labor Day holiday, I haven't had to work an opening shift for two weeks, and am I ever feeling it today. Not the most energetic way to kick off a six-day work week.

Also, when did it get so dark in the mornings again? I had to check my alarm clock twice to make sure I hadn't accidently set it an hour early. And I could hear the foghorns, which tells me more about the weather than I wanted to know.

It started being semi-dark at six about - oh, I'd say two weeks ago. Completely dark, I only noticed it about a week ago. It's been a good month since it was actually light at six, though.

That fits, then, with the last time I woke up that early. I'm sure it had been gradually getting darker before that; it just seems so drastic when you don't see it for two weeks. (Although I'm pretty sure you're a lot further north than me, which might affect things.)

It might be a little different, but I wouldn't guess that CA is more than a day or two behind as far as this sort of thing goes? Although I don't know, since you also exist ~in the past~, apparently. ("8 AM? That was three hours ago!")

I should also clarify that when I say "actually light at six," I mean fully 100% light.

When I got to the door to feed the Black Prince (the neighbour's outdoor cat who thinks this is his real home), all I can see is a set of brilliantly gleaming white teeth marking the location of his waiting body. He is not a patient soul and loudly agitates for his breakfast at about a quarter after six in the morning.

With Lexi, it's only his eyes I can see when it's dark. Very dramatic.

BTW, have you seen this? Videos of a vintage Tom Lehrer performance videos. The songs are from "An Evening Wasted With", but I'm pretty sure it's not the same recording.

What an enormous treat! I had forgotten how much I have missed him. Thank you so much. ;)

My friend Jim sent this to me and, of course, I thought of you at once.

That is terminally adorable. :) Thanks for sharing the link!
